DANGERS OF GAS-LIGHT.
A Physicians Hints About the Best Meth
cd for Training Babies.

od Tor Training Babies.
.tAn ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure" is an old and time
honored saw but it is one parents
would do well to remember in the days
of Group, measles and diphtheria, said
a prominent physician, recently, to a
reporter. One of the first safeguards
against disease is pure air and exercise.
Nothing increases the activity of the
lungs like bodily exercise, and in order
that it may be beneficial to the whole
system, it should be carried on in the
open air. Some children are too young
to leave the nursery, and it is here
that thei' little lives are very
often imperiled by ignorant mothers
and nurses. Gas and parafine
lamps should never be used in
the nursery. In almoBt every room
where gas is burned a plant will droop
and die. Children are like plants; they
require, above all things. pure air,
light and sunshine-not gas light, but
daylight, sunlight, and as much of it.
as possible. The nursery in my house
is the largest and sunniest room under
the roof. In it there are no heavy hang
ings to hold the dust and obscure the
light, nor are there any gas pipes. Gas
is injurious in many ways. Its light is
too strong for a babes eyes; it absorbs
all the pure air in the room before the
child can get a chance to initiate its lit
tie lungs with oxygen; its heat is ener-
waiting and there is always the dangers
of leakages. These leakages may be
30 small as to be imperceptible but
quite large enough to be pernicicus to
health.
Purity of water, however, is as al
most essential as purity of atmosphere.
This can be had by boiling all the water
necessary for the nursery before it is
used. Such treatment removes all i'm
purities and destroys their effect. An
other good thing to remember is the
necessity that exists for fat in some
| form, as an element of children's diet.
I have seen fathers and mothers, TO
| whom the cost of the article was moth
ing deny their children sufficient but
ter to make their bread palatable. This
is wrong. Butter should never be
| spared. Any parent who denies their
children this commodity deserves to
| pay the doctor-and to pay him well,
too. Children who + given enough
butter and other fats rarely suffer from
necrosed joints and scrofulous glands,
to say nothing of marasmust tables, mes
enterico. hydrocephalus and consump-
ton. Besides the ounce of prevention
matter parents would do well to bear
in mind that other old saw which adj
wise us not to be '''penny wise and
pound foolish. IN. Y. Mail and E1-
